Reviews

I would recommend this store for anyone who is interested in antique books, or maps. The history behind these books is astonishing. The condition of the books and the store is also very helpful. Everything is maintained in order and clean. The staff also know their stuff. It's so aesthetically pleasing, I could stay here all day! Obviously because of the age and what it has most likely taken to maintain it all, the prices were somewhat high. But to be honest, I would buy them all, if I could. If you want to explore books, and be amazed at its history, come to Argosy!

What can I possibly say about this oasis of the past? I am blown away by how much history can be confined into one place. Their book selection, their hospitality, the prints, the lithographs, the maps, the autographs, I can go on and on. I am an avid local amateur historian and public school teacher, I've bought two precious items from this establishment in the past few years. I bought a 1864 map of all NYC public schools and a beautiful lithograph print of Boss Tweed. Laura Ten Eyck was fantastic and helped me frame my NYC public schools map. This place is a must visit if you are a local or a tourist visiting NYC. However, I would argue this place is not a tourist attraction or a random book store. I find it to be almost a sacred vessel of the past. So much to see and purchase.

Beautiful book store that has unique, eclectic, and antique mixed types of books. Lots of bargain hunting deals. Great place to find something unique for someone’s personal book collection or place to find nice gifts for loved ones. Definitely a unique and treasured experience.

Delightful and historic, I spent over an hour combing through all the gorgeous hardbacks, dusty paperbacks, and assortment of maps and photographs. Fantastic spot.

The best place to find antique book! Worth price and lovely ambience!

Very neat! I arrived too early though - maybe a half hour after they opened. I was unable to go upstairs because not all their staff had arrived at work yet.

Amazing collection  if you love the smell of vintage books  must must visit    .. just loved it

Visited this beautiful timepiece of New York history recently and it absolutely did not disappoint. The vintage prints and books are well taken care of and I could spend hours just browsing there. I had heard great reviews about the staff, and am happy to say that they are helpful and knowledgeable. One young woman, Erika, was particularly helpful and bubbly. She made my experience joyful and memorable. I look forward to coming back someday!

A mini “library” with classy interior and massive collection of used books, mostly collectibles. You could also take the ancient elevator upstairs to visit the rare book room, all 1st editions.

This is one of the best antiquarian bookstores that I've come across. Not only do they house a gargantuan collection of old books, but they also have a sizeable number of rare and old prints so you would most definitely come across a serendipitous find or two. I certainly plan on visiting again next time I'm in the city.
